What is Edpuzzle?

Edpuzzle allows users to search video services such as YouTube, Khan Academy, LearnZillion, National Geographic, TED, Veritasium, Numberphile, Crash Course, Club Academia, Vimeo, and TeacherTube directly in the interface. Users can also upload their own videos in any format (less than 1 GB). Uploaded videos stream directly from YouTube and are not copied to Edpuzzle’s servers. Once a video is selected or uploaded, the user can specify a start/stop time for a section of the video if he or she does not want to use the entire length. After cropping the video, users can add open-ended, multiple choice, or comment questions or record their voice to add an audio note. The Basic version of Edpuzzle provides storage of up to 20 videos on the account. (Inviting other users gains you storage of another 3 videos. Pro Teacher version allows for unlimited creation and storage of videos at $6.50/ month. A Pro School account starts at $55/month.

Formatting

Edpuzzle allows questions to have formatted text (i.e., bold, italics, underline), images, links, recorded audio notes, subscripts, superscripts, external links, documents, and math equations. Users can add formatted mathematical equations in either LaTeX or MathML. With Edpuzzle, if a student is playing a video, then clicks on another tab in his or her browser, the video pauses, preventing the student from completing other tasks while working on the video assignment. 

Features

• Can invite students to join your class by giving them a class code or through Google Classroom, or by giving them a join link, or through email or share a link through Twitter 
• “Prevent skipping” feature doesn’t allow a student to advance the video until he or she answers the current question 
• The “Student Project” feature allows the students in your class to create their own Edpuzzle. Finished interactive video assessments can be shared with the teacher or with all classmates.

Analytics

Analytics show which students watched the assigned video and the grade they earned on the questions answered and graded. In this case, the grading for the open-ended questions was not completed, therefore although the report shows that two of the three students completed watching the video, the grades are all 0%. The report also includes an option to export grades to CSV, grade open ended questions, and to reset the assignment by student. The second screenshot shows the grading function for open-ended questions. Each open-ended question is shown with the response provided by each student. If the answer provided is correct, the evaluator can click the green check mark; if the response is not correct, the evaluator clicks the red X. Raw data (exported as CSV) is only available for overview view, and includes student name, percentage of video watched, correct questions (out of total number), and grade percentage. Data is not available for open-ended question sets.
